This recipe actually was created quite by accident. Years ago I was looking through my collection of church cookbooks for an apple muffin recipe. The only one I found called for two ingredients I didn't have on hand. Of course, there were plenty of apple bread recipes. Being a newbie baker, I called my mom and asked her if I could use one of those recipes but make muffins instead. Her answer was a resounding 'NO'! Well, also being a young newbie baker, I decided to try it anyway. That time mom was right. It was a complete fail. But I didn't give, and after a few more fails, I was finally able to develop a recipe that can be made both in muffin and bread form!
